On the geometry of sub-Riemannian manifolds equipped with a canonical quarter-symmetric connection
In this article, a sub-Riemannian manifold of contact type is understood as a Riemannian manifold equipped with a regular distribution of codimension-one and by a unit structure vector field orthogonal to this distribution. This vector field is called a

Anisotropically Weighted and Nonholonomically Constrained Evolutions on Manifolds
We present evolution equations for a family of paths that results from anisotropically weighting curve energies in non-linear statistics of manifold valued data. This situation arises when performing inference on data that have non-trivial covariance and

A Comprehensive Introduction to Sub-Riemannian Geometry [PDF]
Sub-Riemannian geometry is the geometry of a world with nonholonomic constraints. In such a world, one can move, send and receive information only in certain admissible directions but eventually can reach every position from any other. In the last two decades sub-Riemannian geometry has emerged as an independent research domain impacting on several ...

On geometry of sub-Riemannian η-Einstein manifolds
On a sub-Riemannian manifold of contact type a connection with torsion is considered, called in the work a Ψ-connection. A Ψ-connection is a particular case of an N-connection.

On 4-dimensional Einsteinian manifolds with parallel null distribution [PDF]
In this paper, we investigate the Einsteinian manifolds with parallel null distribution. For this purpose, we first obtain the equations, which are known as Einstein's equations, that lead to finding the mentioned manifolds and then, we reduce Einstein's

Nilpotent Approximations of Sub-Riemannian Distances for Fast Perceptual Grouping of Blood Vessels in 2D and 3D [PDF]
We propose an efficient approach for the grouping of local orientations (points on vessels) via nilpotent approximations of sub-Riemannian distances in the 2D and 3D roto-translation groups $SE(2)$ and $SE(3)$.

The left-invariant contact metric structure on the Sol manifold
Among the known eight-dimensional Thurston geometries, there is a geometry of the Sol manifold – a Lie group consisting of real special matrices. For a left-invariant Riemannian metric on the Sol manifold, the left shift group is a maximal simple ...
